We Grew Into It

Lyrics

[Verse 1] We signed our names with borrowed pens Your auntie brought the folding chairs Two rings, one cake from down the street And all our friends squeezed in to see We were still learning how to stay Still splitting rent and bills by Friday You made our little kitchen feel Like somewhere we could build for real [Pre-Chorus] Some days we missed the turn Some nights we talked it through I learned what home could mean By coming back to you [Chorus] We got married young, but we grew into it One small yes, then a thousand ways to prove it Through the first hard year, through the long way round You kept choosing me, I kept laying roots down We got married young, and our love got wise Found a little more patience every time we tried Now your hand finds mine like it always knew We were young when we began, now we're stronger, me and you [Verse 2] Your work shirt drying by the sink My late-night notes beside your drink We learned to say, “I need a minute” Then make some tea and both sit in it Our first old car gave up in rain We laughed while waiting for the train And every year the picture changed But your eyes still said my name [Pre-Chorus] Some days we missed the turn Some nights we talked it through I learned what home could mean By coming back to you [Chorus] We got married young, but we grew into it One small yes, then a thousand ways to prove it Through the first hard year, through the long way round You kept choosing me, I kept laying roots down We got married young, and our love got wise Found a little more patience every time we tried Now your hand finds mine like it always knew We were young when we began, now we're stronger, me and you [Bridge] We didn't have the answers then Just two brave hearts and a borrowed van Now when the years show on our hands I see the promise still where it began [Final Chorus] We got married young, and we grew into it One small yes, then a lifetime making good on it Through the first hard year, through the long way round You kept choosing me, I kept laying roots down We got married young, and our love got wise Found a little more patience every time we tried Now your hand finds mine like it always knew We were young when we began, and I still choose you [Outro] Still choose you Still choose you
